Effects of a Specific Substance in Smokers (NCT04281979)

An MRI Study of Neural Activity Following Exposure to a Specific Substance in Young Cigarette Smokers

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Oregon Health and Science University

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

Although rates of cigarette use are declining, the proportion of nondaily smokers is rising, particularly among young adults. Among young adults, nondaily smoking is associated with negative health consequences and, for some, may lead to the establishment of life-long smoking patterns. The goal of this project is to understand the behavioral, psychological and neurobiological factors that contribute to cigarette use in nondaily smokers to aid the development of tailored evidence-based interventions.
